Usually when creating my fantasy outfits I will pick a dress first (nearly always a dress, I know there are so many trouser/skirt/top combos that would be amazing, but at heart I'm a dress girl!), and work from there, but for me it's the jacket that is star of the show in this outfit. This is just absolutely gorgeous - the peplum style waist is guaranteed to give a flattering curvy shape to the wearer, the high quality materials (25% cashmere!) and full lining evoke a sense of luxury and warmth, and the asymmetrical fastening and stand collar just give it that bit of edge.
To go with it, I thought a slightly fitted dress was needed, to not detract from the lovely shape of the jacket. This knitted pencil dress was ideal - the beautiful black lace effect gives it a dark, slightly gothic feel typical of Alexander McQueen and perfectly in keeping with the rest of the outfit.
I thought a simple black shoe would be the best way to show the outfit to its full effect without overshadowing it with fussy features or clashing colours. The skull embellishment on these 5 inch leather heels is subtle enough to not take anything away from the overall look, while still making a very clear statement: 'These are Alexander McQueen shoes!'
The clutch bag is the most delightfully unique shape - a result of the magnetic fold over corners - and the eyecatching print and luxe fabrics make this a perfectly elegant accompaniment to any sophisticated outfit.
Finally an extra touch of decoration to complete the look - the black bracelet with signature skull motif gives a harder edge to a feminine outfit.
